There will be a project to change jobs for fishermen next October.

The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs proposes to try to have one person per household go abroad to work.

It is expected that in October, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs will submit a project to the Government on vocational training and job conversion policies for fishermen in the four North Central provinces affected by the marine environmental incident.

Mr. Pham Minh Huan, Deputy Minister of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, recently said this in an interview with VTV in Da Nang.

Mr. Pham Minh Huan said that the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs is coordinating with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to survey the labor situation in coastal areas of the four North Central provinces affected by the recent marine environmental incident.

Fishing boats lie ashore after the Dead Sea incident.

According to Mr. Huan, if fishermen do not go fishing, they will do jobs that are suitable to the conditions and can increase their income; in which the Ministry proposes to try to have one person from each household go abroad to work. This is a direction to help these families have conditions to stabilize their lives better.

The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs has deployed support according to the Prime Minister's Decision on emergency support for people in the provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue.

Mr. Pham Minh Huan, Deputy Minister of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs said: "In the whole impact on fishermen like that, we have to classify, which subjects can change careers, which subjects cannot. Because people are so old, how can they change careers, so we have to calculate what kind of support policies we have.

In addition to the compensation policy, the future life support policy is a very big issue that needs to be discussed comprehensively. In addition to Formosa's compensation, we need to calculate specifically to submit to the Government. We are currently working on it"./.
